Grafton Has "Glimmer of Hope" Dashed
Level 8
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Tom Orpaz raised to 12,000 on the button and Sam Grafton called in the small blind.
The flop came 9?K?2? and Orpaz bet another 12,000. Grafton took the chips to call and slammed them down near Orpaz's bet.
Grafton also checked the 2? turn and Orpaz bet 30,000. Grafton again called and both players checked the 5? river.
Grafton showed 4?4?, but Orpaz had K?J? to win the pot with two pair.
"Gave me a glimmer of hope," Grafton told him.
"If I check it means I have it. I never give up," Orpaz replied.
